What is Rock climbing?

In rock climbing, people climb natural or man-made rock walls to reach new heights. For the most part, a planned route or the top of a formation is the objective. As a physically and mentally taxing sport, rock climbing frequently puts the climber’s strength, stamina, agility, and balance to the test. Climbing requires an understanding of basic techniques and the proper usage of climbing equipment to ensure safety.

Before the Covid-19 outbreak, tertiary students have recently taken an interest in the sport as we see student climbers hounding climbing gyms in Malaysia. But don’t worry, as vaccination is aggressively being rolled out by governments, the revival of sporting activities in the country. Plus, I’m sure you are itching to get sweaty from some physical activity by now. Let me assure you, rock climbing is something you might want to check out.

What is Bouldering?

Free climbing on small rock formations or constructed rock walls is known as bouldering. It is done without the assistance of ropes or harnesses. Despite that bouldering may be done without any equipment, most climbers utilise climbing shoes to secure footholds, chalk to keep their hands dry, and bouldering mats to protect climbers from injuries. It’s common for bouldering challenges to be less than 6 metres (20 ft.) tall, unlike free solo climbing, which is also practised without ropes. The climber must move horizontally from one end to the other in traverses, a type of boulder issue. Boulderers can practise their sport indoors, with no natural boulders, thanks to artificial climbing walls. Bouldering contests can be either indoors or outdoors, depending on the weather.

Benefits of Rock Climbing & Bouldering:

Strengthens and Extends Your Endurance

Climbing is a full-body workout, not simply an upper-body workout like most people think. Using your fingers, core, and arms to climb a rock is a great way to work out all three of these areas simultaneously. The muscles in your hands and forearms, as well as your biceps, shoulders and neck, will get stronger as you climb more frequently. And all of this can be achieved just by utilising your own weight and gravity.

Sharpen Problem Solving Skills

As you progress upward, you must choose where you can hang on and where you should proceed. It ensures that you have a solid foundation to build your ascent. Since not all climbs have perfectly straight paths, you’ll need to use your problem-solving skills to get through them. Bouldering essentially teaches you to climb small rocks and boulders without the use of a rope.

Boost Confidence and Maybe Overcoming Fears

I challenge you to name one person who, once reaching the peak, isn’t overjoyed. For rock climbers, the breathtaking views and awe-inspiring sense of accomplishment and joy are what keep them going. Your self-esteem is also boosted. As an added bonus, climbing is a terrific stress reliever, as you’ll be so absorbed in the activity that you won’t be able to think about anything else. It might serve as a method to overcome your fear of heights too!

Enhance Interpersonal and Leadership Skills

When it comes to climbing, even if the sport is all about the individual’s adventure, it requires a team to get the job done. With practice, you’ll be able to create trust with your climbing partner and others in your group. Climbing partners must establish trust in one other before becoming belayers or those in charge of keeping the climber safe if they fall. These qualities are critical to fostering a strong sense of community among other climbers.

Rock Climbing Attracting Many Students in Malaysia

Although there are some cost to rock climbing, there are increasing number of enthusiastic student climbers. Especially in the capital of Malaysia where they are options to rock climbing and bouldering facilities.

Don’t worry, there are a variety of climbing gyms that charges from RM3 to RM 40 per entry to get your workout in! Hence, it is affordable almost similar to a usual gym membership even for a student.

So, what are you waiting for? The best place to make new friends while getting yourself fit will be at a climbing gym. Go visit the nearest wall ASAP!

  • Welcoming Safa to #UniKL! 🎓✨

Team #EMGA had the pleasure of assisting Safa and her wonderful family — her father, mother, and younger brother — who looked fresh and cheerful despite just arriving from Kuwait the day before. 💛

We started the day with her medical check-up ✅, then went straight into a campus tour adventure and accommodation check-in 🏡. Safa’s family radiated warmth and joy, even inviting us to join them for a lovely Indian lunch 🍛🥰. They shared how much they enjoy trying new foods, and can’t wait to explore Malaysian cuisine next!

With 7 days in Kuala Lumpur, they’re especially excited to visit iconic spots like KLCC 🌆✨. We wish them the happiest adventures ahead — and an amazing start to Safa’s study journey here in Malaysia, both in and #BeyondTheClassroom 🚀💙

  • A warm welcome to Alaa 🌸—beginning her postgraduate journey at #UKM! 🎓✨

Team #EMGA had the pleasure of assisting Alaa with her registration today, followed by a coffee catch-up right on campus ☕💙. After completing her registration, we also supported her at the visa unit to apply for dependent visas for her children.

Alaa isn’t alone on this journey — her three kids are here with her and have already enrolled in an international school, making Malaysia their new home too. 🏡💛 Though she shared that the registration process was a little tiring, the highlight of her day was meeting her supervisor and having meaningful discussions about her studies. 📚🌟

Here’s to a smooth and successful journey ahead, Alaa — both inside and #BeyondTheClassroom 🚀✨

After her brother Rishaan’s recent registration at APU, it was Aini’s turn to discover what studying in Malaysia could look like. Together with her family and Team #EMGA, she toured the Monash campus, checked out accommodation, and got a real glimpse of student life here. 💙

And of course, no visit would be complete without some local flavors — we introduced them to the classic Nasi Ayam and Milo Ais combo, which was an instant hit! 🍚🥤

We can’t wait to welcome Aini back soon to begin her Malaysian study journey — inside the classroom and #BeyondTheClassroom 🚀💛

We also handed over his #FreeFlightTicket cash rebate 💵✈️ — a little boost to keep the momentum going during this hectic period. Wishing him all the best for the rest of his exams! 📚💪

  • Kicking off a new chapter for Khader 🌟—now pursuing his Bachelor of Chemical Engineering at #UKM Bangi! 🎓✨

It’s his very first time studying abroad, and with Team #EMGA by his side, everything went smoothly — from registration to medical check-ups ✅. To top it off, we treated ourselves to lunch at the viral spot in Bangi, Mak Kimbong 🍛🔥 (his second time there in just two days — that’s how good it is!).

Extra special thanks to Ms. Iffah, a proud UKM alumni herself, who shared some insider campus spots and made the experience even more meaningful 💙. Khader was super happy to finally meet us in person, and he left feeling confident, supported, and ready to begin this exciting journey.

He was truly happy to finally meet us in person and very satisfied with the support received. He even said he will definitely recommend Team #EMGA to others 🙌. We can’t wait to see Khader thrive and shine bright at UKM! ✨
